The Bemer is not like any other mat. If you have spent any time in a PEMF community, you already know the reputation this system has. In this review I’ll walk you through the newest addition to the Bemer catalog: the EVO.
The mat is just one of several “applicators” you can plug into the main control unit, the Bemer Box EVO. That box is a touchscreen computer in its own right. It has two outputs, and you can connect the mat, the belt, the bed sheet and the other applicators to it. And you can use two applicators simultaneously.
This Bemer EVO mat review covers the combination most people buy, the Bemer Box EVO with the mat. The question I get asked most is whether it’s worth the money. Let’s find out.
Bemer EVO Mat Specs and Features
Reading the Spec Sheet
10/33HzPEMF Frequency
The frequency is how many times per second the magnetic field cycles on and off, in hertz. The Bemer mat uses 10 and 33 Hz in its preset programs. You dont have any control over it, but that’s the frequency they used in their scientific trials, so there’s a reason for it.
0.1-0.35GaussPEMF Intensity Range
The intensity is the strength of the magnetic field the device generates, and it’s measured in gauss. The Bemer is a low intensity device. Again, this is backed by science. And unlike the frequency, you can adjust it.
16PEMF Coils
A coil is a winding of copper wire inside the mat, and it’s what produces the magnetic field of the mat. No other PEMF mat has this many coils. The mat is not very big, so 16 coils allow for a perfect distribution of the signal.

What It’s Like to Own the Bemer EVO
Everything else on this page can be measured, but what comes next cannot. This won’t settle whether the Bemer EVO is a good mat, but will you still be using it a year from now? That’s the question worth asking.
Portability
HIGH
One of the lighest PEMF mat out there. Too bad they don’t provde a carry bag for the mat or for the Bemer Box.
Versatility
MEDIUM
The control unit has 2 outputs, so you can attach another applicator to it. This allows for many different treatments.
Comfort
VERY HIGH
The mats is soft and comfortable, and it’s a pleasure to lie on it. The control unit can even play your own music.
Price range
$4,400–$4,800

Bemer EVO Accessories
The Bemer EVO comes with two accessories for the control unit, but unfortunately they don’t provide a bag, and with this final price tag, it’s a real drawback.
Bemer Box Wall Mount
A wall mount is another nice option to control your device directly from the wall.
Bemer Box Stand
A desktop stand that makes easier to use the Bemer Box on a daily basis.

Is the Bemer EVO Mat Worth it?
4.5out of 5
My FInal verdict
There’s a reason why PEMF therapy, when done with this device, is called BEMER therapy. The Bemer EVO mat has the widest scientific research to back it up. It’s a low-intensity device, and everything about it has been tested, studied, and proven to work. They even patented their own waveform, based on trial findings. The control unit is a touchscreen computer, and can even play your favorite music. You can attach two applicators to it, and the mat you see here is just one of the options. And if you have another applicator, like the belt, you can use both at the same time. The only drawback is that science comes with a premium price.
